entre Application led July 27,

ticularly to an improvement over my Patent No.,l,400,330, and h'asvfor an object to provide an improved arrangement for setting` the bit.

Another object of the invention is to provide a simple construction wherein the bit may be readily fed forwardly or rearwardly and locked in any of its adjusted positions.

An additional objeet is to provide a plane.

with adjusting,r ineans which will automatically Ylock the bit in any the saine being associated with al guide to always vhold the parts in operative position.

In the accompanying drawing- Figure l is a longitudinal vertical section through a plane of the invention.

Figure 2 is a top shown in Figurel. 1

Figure 3 is a perspective view showing part of the bit adj usting mechanism. p

Figure. 4 is a perspective view showing a threaded shoulder or abutment embodying` certain features of the invention. f

`Figure 5 is a perspective vieiv ing rod. I. y

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, l indicates the stoclr of :i plane Which is of a Well known construction and identical with that shown in my prior patent above referred to, said stoelr having side flanges 2 and merging into frog 3 having n rearwardly extending bearing section e. the face of which accommodates the bit supporting bed 5l which hed is preferably of n'oodand held in place in any suitable manner, as for instance, by a screw 6 as Well the ribs '7 fitting into suitable lgrooves in the bed. A comparatively large aperture 8 is arranged substantially centrally of the Dcd 5 accoinniodating the end of pin 9 which plan vien7 ofthe plane t a `guidpiu is preferably. beveled :it the lower end und extends through one of the apertures l formed in the bit ll.

-lt will be noted. from Figure l -that the bit ll is provided with comparatively large number of apertures l0 arranged ina ron* tapering;

lcounty of ll/'inncbago cutting edge l2 adjustedposition. 1

disclosing` an einbodin'ient ,loosely through th whereby ysaid -abutinent cannot rotate 1922. Serial No. 577,819.

centrally ofthe (ln addition to these apertures, a lever l'r is welded, riveted orotherwise rigidly secured to the bit il', onf.`

the upper or'outer face and extends'a. short distance beyond the bed so that it may' be easily shifted..laterally inv in proper alignment; The lever l'Tis provided With a 18 in ordei that the partsinay be more readily adjusted when it is necessary to properly .setthe edge of the bit ll. n'top of the 'bit ll is arranged a shaving breaker 19 entending from 'near' i l 'll to a point substantially in line Wiilrthc yiukierture tl. 'flhis shaving breaker may be o't any suitable material but is preferably f l formed ot Wood `and N is held in place by a vset scrcnv :l i carried by bar. 20' rigidly" secured to in .any` suitable manner or formed integraluith; the flanges.

2. ln order `to preventthe shaving breaker l5) from becoming dislocated. suitable screws bar l20 and into the The flanges 2 airefprovided'with it extend through the breaker 19.

integral extensions 23 ywhich are provided order to -biingtlie turned down end the cutting edge of bit a trai'isverse clamping With an integral cross bar 24 having a."

threaded aperture ed end 25 of the abutment 26, Which abut` inent hasnflarfge threaded aperture which is adapted to receive the sereiv 27, said screw being hollow and carrying a rod 28,'said rod having an. enlarged end 29 and a threaded end 30, said threaded end receive the nut 3l whereby theend 29 is clamped tightly against .the screvv QXL The end 29 is provided with `en enlargement 32 on oneside having a Vthreaded aperture i for receiving the threaded end 34 ofthe nuiderod 35. Wh

ear 36 of the abutment While permitting the screw' to freely op-` crate for moving the enlargement 29 back and forth.

is provided With a threaded ich ,duide rod extends 37 fitting` into one of the threadedfor adjusting the bit for receiving the threadbeing adapted to Y tures lll and the threaded member and vasso ciated parts moved baci: so that the end-of the pin 9 may lit into the nent aperture l() llO the bit is not parallel n'ith the bottoni of the ie, ieiei 1T muy be moved readily tm; shifting the bit to pioduce proper el' innent ot the cutting edge, said bit swinging on the nin S.

ll'hat i claim is l. in e plane, a bithaving an aperture th in intermediate its ends, a pin `extendn nig into the said upeitiie to clamp in 'place said bit, a buihaving a head provi ied with un opening at one side suppoiting seid pin7 :Si tulnihii membei` threaded at its outensui- Atace and cemying said rod, a support having a threaded opening toi' said tubulaiI meinbei. d tubulai member being movable loni n gituuinaly in senslipping-t by rotating tue name, said support being formed at one side with an ear having an opening and an L* shaped guiding rod having one leg inserted in the opening of the heed and the other opening in said ear to prevent rotation ot nemesi said rod when said tubular member is io tated.

in a plane a bit provided with a series of spaced openings on its longitudinal axis, and means at one end to manually adjustit laterally, a pin having anointed end adapted to enter anyv one oit seid openings according to the position 0i said bit to clamp the bit in "place, `means carrying said pin and moving the saine longitudinally of the bit to adjusttlie position ofi the bit longitudinaiiy, and means associated with said firstnientioned means to prevent lateral shift of the seid pin.

3. ln a plane` a bit having an aperture therein inteifmediete its ends, a pin extending' into said apeituie, a bai' connected with said pin and extendingat right angles thereto, a tubului membei through which said bei' extends. said tubulaf member being iotatabiy mounted on the bar and threaded exterior 33, a stationaijT abutment having tliieaded apeitues for receiving said threaded tubulai member wheieby when 4the threaded nieinbei is rotated the pin will be moved longitndinallyv with respect to the bit and a. guiding rod tor preventing the rotation ot said abutment extending between the abutment and the bar.
